Week 319

Not much to report this week. For Free Birds we made plans for the next sprint, writ­ing user sto­ries and groom­ing our back­log. We hope to start the work on this soon. For TEDASUKE I had a final meet­ing with our client SodaPro­duc­ties and talked through their next steps with them, in par­tic­u­lar what to look out […]

Week 285

The best news last week was the go-ahead on SHACHI. We’re excit­ed to start work on that in the new week. Work on the next ver­sion of Cam­parc has start­ed for the STRP bien­nal. Kars ran a work­shop at Beren­schot togeth­er with Jeroen van Mas­tright. As research for the work­shop I looked to find dilem­mas in […]

Week 281

To make the most of the first full work­week of the new year Alper arrived from Berlin to work with me at the Utrecht stu­dio on a num­ber of things. We kicked off our sec­ond project with KLM on Wednes­day. I went over to “build­ing 600” on Schiphol Noord to share our pre­lim­i­nary ideas for […]

Week 274

At the start of this week Alper was still in NYC after enjoy­ing anoth­er excel­lent edi­tion of PRACTICE. He did some work on Bycatch with Sub­alekha and oth­er­wise enjoyed the city before head­ing back to Europe on Tues­day. While he was mak­ing the cross­ing, I par­tic­i­pat­ed in the first Tegen­licht meet­up in Utrecht. We watched […]

Week 268

After a false start on Mon­day due to a lin­ger­ing head cold I was back in action on Tues­day. We made good progress this week on KUMA (our project with KLM on game-based learn­ing) and on Bycatch (our card game about drones sur­veil­lance and remote war­fare). Let’s start with KUMA. We processed the out­comes of […]

Week 265

Kars spent last week in between two major events hav­ing just fin­ished Cam­parc he pre­pared some play­ful work­shops to run at the open­ing of Vecht­club XL, our Utrecht base of oper­a­tions. One of these was an iter­a­tion on our Play­ing with Rules work­shop but made acces­si­ble for a larg­er audi­ence. Think Parcheesi meets Nom­ic. We […]

Week 262

This week I was joined in Utrecht by Alper who had just returned from his hol­i­day in the Aus­tri­an Alps. Most of our time was spent on Cam­parc again. Aldo start­ed work on the four balls we’ll need for the main event. Alper assist­ed him with soft­ware devel­op­ment to get the video streams from the balls […]

Week 256

Last week I trav­eled to Utrecht to do some main­te­nance work on an old project. I took the oppor­tu­ni­ty to work at our Utrecht office and check out the Vecht­club XL’s new cafe De Klub. I am severe­ly impressed how the venue is shap­ing up to become Utrecht’s num­ber one des­ti­na­tion. Anoth­er old project that […]

Week 255

This week start­ed on a high note with the open­ing of restau­rant De Klub at Vecht­club XL—the cre­ative work­space in which our Utrecht stu­dio is locat­ed. It is a love­ly space serv­ing good food and drink (includ­ing fine cof­fees) but most impor­tant­ly a great place for serendip­i­tous encoun­ters with oth­er Vecht­club res­i­dents and peo­ple from […]

Week 241

An intense week, not in the last place because of Alper’s phys­i­cal pres­ence at the Utrecht stu­dio for the whole week. It was time for anoth­er OKR review and we pre­fer to do those live in meat­space. As always, we grad­ed our­selves, came to some harsh real­i­sa­tions and adjust­ed course accord­ing­ly. Build­ing an applied game […]
